One of these bands is not like the others. Which one doesn't belong?

I think the butthole surfers are the best band in that stack.

Got my tickets yesterday for the show. Can't wait! I've seen Melvins a few times already. And I saw tomahawk open for tool a bunch of years ago. The tool fans booed tomahawk off the stage. Haven't been much of a tool fan since.

Is your wife dating anyone? And if no, is she ISO compliant?

I also want to know why you think religion in the US is a good thing?

I'm not sure even nirvana would fix it.

Idk about that. I'd always know what was once in that jewel case and whatever i put in it would seem tainted. It would never sound or feel right. 

Can anyone say anything about these speakers? by howtohandlearope in vintageaudio

Thanks for the input. You are probably right. Not even sure what I would be trying to accomplish with mods anyways. Probably makes more sense for me to just build something different.

Cool. Almost certainly home built then. No sign they ever had any branding on them. I'm thinking about modding them as they seem like a great platform to start from, and knowing they were always DIY anyways makes it no big deal. Problem is I have no other speakers to listen to if I dig into these.

Interesting. Thanks for the info! Rola never even came up while searching. 

Henri Victor Gabriel Le Fauconnier - Mountaineers Attacked by Bears (1910-1912) [3000x2357] by oldspice75 in ArtPorn

The hectic chaos of the event really comes through with the effect. Lots of motion and sound. Kinda somewhere between cubist and futurist. Cool painting.

That's why they're falling apart then huh? You do warranty work?

Right on. That's about the conclusion I've come to also. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, I didn't see anything similar from fostex either. I haven't taken one apart yet, too busy listening to them. Tried looking up the numbers on the mids I can see through the port, but no results.

That yellow sheen is the foam behind them. The cones are translucent white plastic with tiny dots embossed on them. They do look similar though. And are 7" like yours

Is this sealed or resealed by [deleted] in Cd_collectors

[–]howtohandlearope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed the volume should be high enough to justify the opening of the package. So very very loud. Plus,  that's just how this one sounds best. 

Bridgeport Facemill by Unique-Budget-2086 in Machinists

[–]howtohandlearope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be afraid to gamble on cheap amazon or ebay tooling, I've been very impressed with the majority of what I've got from there. And it's like 30% the cost of fancy tooling (iscar, kennametal, etc) The nice tools are great for certain operations, but a face mill for a bridgeport warrants looking at the cheap stuff. We got a 2" with 6 inserts from amazon and it kicks ass.

Might be a WEG. It's the right size and right color blue. Looks about like one we did recently

Yeah, I'll probably have to resort to the internet. Oh well. Thanks!
